2019 Toronto Fall Bucket List

Fall is here & I’ve decided to leverage this seasonal transition as an opportunity to delve back into the blogosphere ** new season, new beginnings ** (insert gag, insert eye roll). I realized I’ve made this proclamation several times over the past few months, but they were all lies mostly half-hearted, & this time I actually mean it. Pinky Promise. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to shove Fall & Halloween down everyone’s throats now could I? 😉

So to kick things off, & also because I was too lazy to write anything of actual substance this week, I’m sharing my annual Toronto Fall Bucket List.

2019 Toronto Fall Bucket List

2. Pick a Pumpkin… Or pose with one – honestly have you seen those inflated pumpkin patch prices? #DoItForTheGram

3. Read a Stephen King Novel – I Just finished The Outsider; it’s a little bit of IT meets Criminal Minds. Would recommend.

4. Visit Pumpkins After Dark. I’ve been DREAMING of a jack-o-lantern festival and the Halloween Gods have answered my prayers. Stroll down a path lined with 5000 carved jack-o-lanterns and sculptures at this new exhibition based out of Milton.

5. Go on a hike. My favourite spots in the GTA are Sunnybrook Park or Waterfall Walks along the Bruce Trail in Hamilton.

7. Head to Toronto Pumpkin Fest. I’ll be up at the cottage for Thanksgiving, so I regretfully won’t be able to attend but this event looks SO fun… Especially for those of you with kidlets. There’s a costume contest, pumpkin carving contest, pumpkin bowling, food vendors and the best part? Admission is FREE 99.

8. Watch Marianne on Netflix – WOW. This show is SO friggin good and SO friggin scary. It’s French so if you’re up for the commitment of treacherous subtitles give it a watch. It’s SO worth it… & I’m being dramatic you get used to the subtitles.

10. Watch American Horror Story: 1984. It’s only the first episode & I’m already “hooked”. 80s & 90s slasher films are my favourite era of horror movie, & this season is playing up those classic tropes BIG time. I have high hopes for AHS 1984.

11. Do some fall baking! I’ve truly been ramping it up in the kitchen as of late, so if I’m feeling brave I may share some fall recipes on here sometime soon. In the meantime, here’s my severed finger cookie recipe & gluten free apple tart.

12. Check out The Classics at your local VIP theater. Most Cineplex VIP theaters offer Classic Film experiences at a FRACTION of the cost. Starting October 18, they’re playing Silence of Lambs for just $6.99. SPOOKY GOOD.
